For the management of acute limb ischemia (ALI) and multilevel arterial occlusive disease, tibial bypass using the saphenous vein has been considered a mainstay due to the long-term durability in selected patients with acceptable saphenous veins and comorbid conditions. Traditionally, bypass using a varicose autogenous graft has been contraindicated due to the risk of late aneurysmal dilation and rupture. Here, we describe a patient who presented with ALI and received tibioperoneal trunk bypass using a varicose autogenous graft. The patient has been doing well during the 72-month follow-up without recurrent symptoms or revision. The follow-up images showed a favorably patent graft with mild aneurysmal changes at the valve cusp adjacent to the knee. If there are no other appropriate autologous veins for revascularization, a varicose autogenous vein graft may be a useful option for limb salvaging in selected patients with multilevel arterial occlusive diseases.
